  • RIP Richie Benaud. Billy Birmingham or more famously the 12th man who is famous for his mimicry of cricket commentators meets the persons responsible for his livelihood. Excellent mimicry during the tea break at Gabba 2013 on the 4th day

    when i was a kid the west indies 2 eleven were in my home town playing against a Doug Walter's invitational
    Ian Chappell n Tony Greig walked past me and my dad and when they walked back by us my dad asked Ian if he could give the ball to me
    Ian Chappell ignored us like we were shit peasants and Tony pulled Ian back and said give the boy the ball Ian you asshole
    and he reluctantly gave me the ball said nothing and walked away
    Tony Grieg looked at me winked and said there ya go young fella
    TY for pointing out to us mere normal people that Ian Chappell really was an asshole and for making Ian give me a white 4 piece ball that i got about 300 + overs in the backyard ☺
    RIP You Great Warm Generous South African

      If Billy did a Indian accent 2day on a album it would probably be raicist by the snowflakes

    I would love to see Billy make a new album with all the departed commentators up in heaven as well as Kerrie Packer watching the current coverage and calling it for what it is. You could have Smashing, Bill, Tubby Taylor etc watching TV from home putting their two bobs worth in as well. It would be a clanger. Come on Billy do it for us. I understand you have retired, but it would be great and you would have a number one seller on your hands.

    Richie was indeed a wonderful cricket player and commentator, loved him and love you, and your work. Richie must have been a dream to mimic. It is such a shame the current lot are so damn BORING, especially that pommy git, can't stand his arrogance and know all attitude. I think we will all miss Richie terribly, such a gentleman. R.I.P Richie, enjoy Heaven.
